We have [been] having too many problems with figuring out how to spend time together because of my work and now his, it’s been getting worse and worse, not fun anymore.”

The couple had been dating for four years. They split up one time before back in 2012, however, they got back together and announced their plans to marry just two months later.

The 41-year-old Colombian married her childhood sweetheart Joe Gonzalez at the age of 18. The couple divorced in 1992, they have one son together Manolo.
